Newborn euthanasia

Posted November 14th, 2006 @ 8:33 am by James

England’s Daily Mail is reporting:

”. . . a bishop representing the national church has now sparked controversy by arguing that there are occasions when it is compassionate to leave a severely disabled child to die.

“And the Bishop of Southwark, Tom Butler, who is the vice chair of the Church of England’s Mission and Public Affairs Council, has also argued that the high financial cost of keeping desperately ill babies alive should be a factor in life or death decisions. ”

Butler has obviously overlooked an important warning from Jesus himself. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you have done it to me” (Matthew 25:40).
